(Soya's POV)
"Hey"
"Hi, how you doing?" she smiled.
"I'm fine and you?"
"I'm good, just a little exhausted. I have your food in my room.."
I followed behind her through the huge house as I examined around. My eyes traced over the pictures she hung on the wall in the long hallway we were walking in. There were pictures of her with her family.. I remembered who they were because she introduced me to her parents and a few others awhile ago and it was nice to finally meet them..
"You have alot of pictures."
"You know I love to take pictures."
Indeed she did.
We finally reached her room and she closed the door behind me.
"You can sit on the bed."
I did as told and she handed me my bag of food.
"Thank you." my eyes lit up. I was more hungry than I thought.
"Ofcourse."
I got myself settled and began to eat, and the conversation came shortly after I finished up.
"So.. why did you leave like that?"
I sighed, doubting if I was really ready to talk.
"Do you really want to know?"
"More than anything.."
She gave me such sturn eyes, and I couldn't grasp the strength to keep the eye contact.
"I was in a very toxic relationship with my ex girlfriend. We had been broken up months before I started working at the Palace, but she didn't want us to break up. She knew where I lived, she wouldn't give me her copy of the keys that I gave her when I first moved in, so she had access to my home whenever she wanted. She would threaten me.. oh and you can imagine how much worse it got when I changed the locks. You weren't really too involved as to why I moved away.. but I also didn't want to fall for you and get myself hurt. I was scared, I didn't want to believe you were really into me.. it was kind of too good to be true. Jill you're a wonderful person and I wish I had more strength to tell you what was really going on, but I just knew how you'd get about me and I don't know what you would've done to my ex girlfriend.."
She was staring and observing me as I spoke. Her eyes traveled all over, making me more nervous than I really needed to be.
"I understand."
"So, how do you feel?"
"I can't be mad at you. I'm glad you acknowledged how hard I was willing to fight for you, especially if someone had hurt you.. so yes, if I would've known this back then.. there's no telling if she'd be alive to this day.."
"That was my best plan at the moment. It seemed like there was nothing else I could've done."
"You know what could've happened though? If you would've told me, I would've moved you in with me. Back during the Palace days, I had a 6 bedroom house. I had more than enough room to let you stay with me. She wouldn't suspect where you were.. and if she did find you, she would have to go through me and I would hope she's smart enough to not try that out. I would've kept you safe and maybe kept her alive if you wanted me to."
"Really?"
"Yes."
I paused.
"I was just so nervous and I-"
"I understand princess.. it's ok. I just wanted a explanation if you were willing to give it, and you did so we're good now. I'm over the past, I'm just happy you're back." she smiled at me.
I smiled back and my eyes wandered lower.. examined what she was actually wearing. A white tee with shorts that showed her bulging but smooth muscles. She got up and came around the bed towards me.
"Have you missed me at all?"
As much as I didn't want to admit it.. I did.. but should I tell her that?
She slowly traced my jawline with her hand. I leaned my head to the side as I felt her plump lips touch my neck. I bit my lip softly as a soft moan escaped my mouth. She rose back up and we looked at each other, I assume to wait on my answer.
"Yes"
"Princess.. I don't think you realize how much I've missed you.."
"Show me.."

•I left Jill's house around 11 PM. I arrived home and was startled by Ramiah sitting on my couch.
"Spill bitch."
"You scared the shit out of me. And spill what?"
"What happened? You're back so late! And I got no response to my texts.. did you..?" she lit up like a little kid.
"No. We didn't have sex. We just... talked."
"Mhm. So how did she take what you said?"
"She said she was just happy I was back and that..."
"What?"
"I told her I missed her."
"Fuck Soya! Weren't you and Sade bonding or something like that?"
"I don't know. I'm so confused... what should I do?"
"I would say try and be honest with Sade and let her know what you got going on."
"But I never intended on really starting anything serious between Sade and I because she just got out of a crazy relationship.. she needs time to heal. I should just be here to help with their business... or if she wants to talk like regular friends.. but I should maybe keep it more professional. Ugh but I also don't know what I really want with Jill..."
"Well.. if you do the Sade thing, you need to stand on it. As far as Jill, just see how you feel around her once you guys start working, and go from there. LISTEN TO YOUR GUT!"
I sighed heavily in confusion.
"Bitch.. you rollin up?"
"Already did." she held the blunt in the air with her pink lighter.
